We try to support the localvore movement as much as possible but there are definitely times when Vermont’s local foods get a little tiresome. In the case of local seafood, well, Lake Champlain can only yield so much. Tonight’s dinner was a digression from buying local but it was a delicious digression!
Chipotle Shrimp (melt a wee bit of butter in saucepan; add some scallions, a chopped up chipotle chili in adobo sauce, 1 tbsp of the adobo sauce and saute for a few minutes; add a small amount of broth (1/2 cup) and bring to simmer; add shrimp and after shrimp are cooked, squeeze some lime juice on top and serve)
Cheddar Grits (cook grits according to directions and once done, stire in some shredded cheddar cheese)
Steamed broccoli and cauliflower
Sliced pears
